Greendale and the New Deal Garden City Experiment
Greendale was one of three Greenbelt Towns built by the federal government under the Resettlement Administration during Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Construction began in 1936, and the first residents moved in during 1938. The community was designed according to English garden city principles developed by Ebenezer Howard, with curved streets, common green spaces, and pedestrian walkways separate from automobile traffic. The original village plan is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its concrete-block cottages still stand along Broad Street and Northway.
The federal government sold the village to residents in 1949, transferring ownership of the original homes and the surrounding land. Greendale incorporated as a Wisconsin village the same year. Later development extended south and west of the original plan, but the historic core remains intact and serves as a template studied by urban planners.
The village today has about 14,000 residents and sits in southwestern Milwaukee County. Southridge Mall, which opened in 1970, anchors the commercial side of the village. Trimborn Farm, a limestone farmstead dating to the 1850s, predates the New Deal village by nearly a century and operates as a historical site managed by Milwaukee County.
